See that's what's wrong with America today, people are always trying to make a buck, stick with Webroot Spy sweeper, (IMHO - Best One Out) |

Well, the folks - like Yahoo, which uses Claria - that keep the bozos that produce the spy/adware outfits in business and then act "shocked, SHOCKED" that anyone would harass innocent folks that way are at least partially responsible.
The amount of stuff out there, the way it is written, the difficulty in deleting it are as obnoxious as anything I've encountered. It isn't just making a buck, it's harassment and ought to be illegal. If it was then legit outfits wouldn't be able to fund it on the sly. |

I had a client with WSS. It kept reporting items that were deleted by Adaware, Spybot, or Pest Patrol. When I told WSS to expunge the items, it failed 100% of the time. I had heard it was good, but now my advice is to save your money.
In fairness, maybe something was set wrong, or maybe those threats were there, but undetectable by the other 3 tools. At any rate, I am not impressed, but I will keep an open mind.

You impugn the integrity of spyware vendors with that remark. |
